Officers from the Sheffield North East Neighbourhood Policing team attended a church service last night in which Pamela’s disappearance was discussed. 

The team also promised ‘more community events this weekend in the Fir Vale area’ which included officers having a visible presence so they are in easy reach of anyone who may have information.
